He only caught a cold and was running a fever. Although his fever was rather high, it was not considered a serious illness and it was discovered rather early. Gu Chonghua made so dicine for him and the effects of the dicine ca into work quickly.
Everyone only realized that Jiang Xun was still standing at the door after Mo Chengxu took the dicine.
Gu Qingyao was confused. “Jiang Xun?”
Jiang Xun was staring at Mo Chengxu’s face all this ti. Hearing Gu Qingyao, Mo Chengxu followed her gaze and made eye contact with Jiang Xun.
Jiang Xun experienced a multitude of emotions when he saw the child’s front profile. Why does this child look so similar to his younger cousin?
“Oh! I... I accidentally knocked into this auntie when I was on my way out just now. I saw that the child in her arms seed to be sick and I’m afraid that I hurt him so I ca to take a look.”
Gu Qingyao said, “It’s alright now. Xiao Xu is just sick and having a fever. He will be fine after taking so dicine. The sun is about to set already. You still have younger brothers at ho. I will not make you stay any longer. Hurry ho!”
Jiang Xun took another look at Mo Chengxu, nodded his head and left.
However, he was unable to remain calm on his way back.
After the sky darkened, he returned to the tattered straw shed in the house and the three little ones were huddled together by a fire. They do not have enough clothes to wear and could only warm themselves by a fire during the winter or else they would not be able to bear the cold.
Seeing that Jiang Xun returned, the children imdiately circled around him.
“Elder brother, what did Aunt Gu say? She was not cheated, was she?”
The first child who rushed up to him was the young cousin who bore an extre resemblance to that child from earlier on. He just turned five this year.
He did not have a formal given na but he had a nickna, Mu Mu!
Jiang Xun replied, “Don’t worry. Aunt Gu said she will not co. Aunt Gu and Tingting are living very well in the Gu family. You all don’t need to worry about her.”
Mu Mu sighed in relief upon hearing that!
“That’s good then. Aunt Gu must not be foolish. There’s not a single good person in that Li family.”
Jiang Xun looked at the child before him and truly thought that the child was too smart.
He had only turned five this year!
Many children at this age could not even speak clearly and were not as clear and expressive as Mu Mu. However, this child’s intellect and ability to think independently were not inferior to kids who were a few years older than him.
That Xiao Xu...
Jiang Xun pressed his lips together. Leading Mu Mu to the fireside, Jiang Xun opened his small cloth bundle, exposing the ten-over sweet potatoes in it.
The children’s eyes brightened at the sight of the food.
“Cousin, did Aunt Gu give you these?” The first who spoke was still Mu Mu.
Jiang Xun laughed. “It’s considered so! But it’s a very beautiful elder sister in the Gu family who gave these. She is a very nice person. The eggs which I brought back the other ti were given by her. Oh right, she also gave a box of ointnt. Hurry, wash your hands. I will apply so ointnt for you all to treat your frostbite.”
Mu Mu’s eyes lit up. “A very good-looking elder sister? How good-looking?”
Jiang Xun smiled. “Better looking than anyone you have t before. She’s like a fairy. She’s especially good-looking.”
Jiang Xun’s younger brother was called Jiang Ping while the other younger cousin was Jiang Jing.
His last na was also Jiang as his parents both shared the sa last na, Jiang.
Watching the kids before him, Jiang Xun said, “I saw a child at the Gu family today. He looks very similar to Mu Mu as though they were carved out from the sa mould.”
Everyone was stunned.
“Very similar to Mu Mu?” Jiang Ping, who was older, asked.
